A man accused of stealing unreleased Beyonce tracks has been arrested but unfortunately the music still has yet to be recovered.
Kelvin Evans was arrested for allegedly breaking into an SUV and taking the 44-year-old megastar singer’s property.
This came months after Beyonce’s unreleased music was reportedly stolen from her choreographer’s SUV ahead of her recent Cowboy Carter show in Atlanta, Georgia, back in July.
According to a police incident report, obtained by ABC News back in July, law enforcement officers were looking for a ‘suspect accused of stealing two suitcases containing sensitive material’ related to the superstar, including hard drives with footage, plans for her past and future set lists, as well as unreleased music.
Evans is currently in Fulton County Jail and police told TMZ on Tuesday that the hard drives with the unreleased music have not been recovered.
According to jail records, he has been charged with entering an automobile or other motor vehicle with intent to commit theft or felony in addition to violating his parole.
Evans is currently being held on a $20.000 bond after being booked by the Hapeville Police Department on August 26.
He has quite a lengthy rap sheet as he has been booked 37 times since January 2002 with charges including aggravated assault, criminal trespass, writing bad checks, heroin possession, and parole violations.
Meanwhile, in a statement to ABC News back in July, authorities confirmed they responded to a report of a theft from a motor vehicle on July 8.
‘Preliminary investigation revealed a Jeep Wagoneer was broken into at the location and two suitcases had been stolen,’ police reported. ‘Investigators with the Atlanta Police Department’s Larceny from Auto Unit led the investigation and have subsequently secured an arrest warrant for a suspect.’
The incident is said to have happened around 8 p.m. inside a parking deck at Krog Street Market, three days before her sold-out run at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
At this time, the suspect, whose identity has not yet been released, has not been found.
On Monday, July 14, an arrest warrant was issued for a suspect.
Per WSB-TV, ‘Christopher Grant and Diandre Blue​ reported the crime to the authorities.’
The pair said someone ‘broke in through the back lift gate​ and robbed their rental black Jeep Wagoneer ​while it was stationed in ​a parking deck around 8:09 p.m.’
Police confirmed the ‘break-in was captured on surveillance cameras​, and the scene was dusted for fingerprints.’
Clothes, designer sunglasses, laptops and a pair of AirPods Max headphones, belonging to members of Beyoncé’s team, were also reported stolen.
DailyMail.com reached out to Beyoncé’s representatives at the time.
In March 2021, Beyonce’s storage unit was reportedly targeted by thieves who stole $1 million worth of valuables including designer handbags and dresses.
According to TMZ, the singer was believed to be linked to three storage units in the Los Angeles area.
The units, which were believed to be rented out by her production company Parkwood Entertainment, were hit twice by thieves that same month.
TMZ reported that the items swiped during the first heist all belonged to Beyonce.
They are believed to have stolen handbags, kids toys and photos which were the belongings to one of Beyonce’s stylists.
